Hello,

0xC1900101 is generic error code and points to driver incompatibility while you opt to upgrade. You need to read the dialog, which likely came before this error message. There should be additional information with the detail. The dialog will tell you what devices are having a problem. That is the one you need to get a new driver for. 

Once you fixed the driver(s) mentioned with detail, the error will no longer persist.

Hope this helps!

    Also after a few (4-5) failed attempts while attempting to update from 1703 to 1803 in an HP 530 Notebook PC I've done the following adjustments based on this and a couple other similar threads:

    • Updated BIOS version
      • F.06 to F.07 - nothing relevant according to the changelog but sometimes minor undocumented issues are fixed
    • Turned onIntel virtualization technology (in BIOS setup)
      • My guess is that there might be some interaction between this feature and exception handling

    After the adjustments, the following attempt worked. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not!

    I was preparing myself to crawl through the extensive/hard to interpret CBS logs but (fortunately) it wasn't necessary.

    Good luck for those still having problems and hope this helps!

    P.S.: HP doesn't formally support this model in Windows 10 (not included in HP Products Tested with Windows 10) but my preliminary testing says it works reasonably well (mind it's a 2012 laptop).

    Good going, glad that turned out well for you. Especially good to hear a manufacturer unsupported machine still might work with 1803. Excellent staying power on your part.

    Good luck, & keep us informed.

    After about five tries at the 1803 update removing AV etc. I switched off the Intel virtualization tech in the BIOS and everything worked like a dream!

    Thank you @DaveLister1.

    After may hard work and tutorials i skipped 1803 and try to upgrade to 1809 with no luck.

    Switching of VT-d and Intel Virtualization Tech in BIOS help me upgrade.

    Nice to know, however, I am running an AMD Athlon X2, not an Intel. I looked in my bios for something similar, but there is nothing there. My most recent attempt to upgrade Windows 10 last week failed again.
